TL;DR: In this paper, a carbon backing thickness of ∼22μg/cm2 was achieved for the targets of refractory metals (193Ir, 187Re, 182W, 181Ta, 175Lu and 169Tm) using: (a) e-gun (for natC backing), (b) resistive heating (for source material deposition) and (c) egun evaporation (fornatC capping) methods successively, without breaking the vacuum.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of hexadecapole nuclear deformation effect on sub-barrier fusion cross sections was investigated, where the evaporation residue (ER) excitation functions were measured at laboratory beam energies in the range of 64.6-103.6 MeV.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interplay between fusion and quasifission in reactions forming compound nuclei in the boundary region where the fusion probability starts to deviate from unity was studied.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured pre-scission neutron multiplicity values using a statistical model incorporating Krammer's fission width due to the dissipative drag in nuclear fission, shell corrections in fission barrier and level density, collective enhancement of level density and $K$-orientation effect.

TL;DR: Fission fragment mass-angle and mass ratio distributions have been measured for the 30Si+−180Hf reaction in the beam energy range 128-148 MeV as mentioned in this paper, which strongly suggest the entrance channel dependence of quasifission in heavy ion collisions.
